Cranial integument entirely ossified, rugose. The supraciliary crest is elevated and 
continued to the parotoid; it is swollen, particularly behind, forming a rugose osseous 
plate behind the orbit. Upper part of the snout and interorbital space concave. 
Parotoid short, subtriangular. Upper parts studded with round warts; a series of 
larger tubercles from the parotoid to the groin. Toes half-webbed; metatarsal 
tubercles very obscure; no tarsal fold. Yellowish-brown above, dirty brown below,

Hab. Costa Rica, Pico Blanco 5000 feet (Gadd). 
Crown of the head without ossification ; of crests are present a canthal, supraciliary, 
and supratympanic; the supraciliary sends inwards a short tuberosity at the posterior 
third of the orbit; supratympanic very protuberant. Parotoid very small, rounded ; 
skin everywhere rugose with minute tubercles, which are sparse on the dorsal, dense 
on the ventral regions. Digits of all the feet enclosed in the skin, leaving the longest 
toe projecting ; inner digits of both feet rudimentary. Femur half enclosed in the 
inguinal integument. Soles smooth, without tubercles or folds. Brownish-black,
